Title: Update to Datadog puppet report processor & agent install

Hi James,

I hope this finds you well. It's been a while since our code bases last sync'ed so here's a pull request and an open question regarding tags in Datadog.

From discussions with our users who also use Puppet I have not found a collection of facts that are interesting and always present regardless of the way puppet is used. In our Chef plugin we can rely on the notion of *role* that the tool forces on the user (we transcribe roles into `role:...` tags in Datadog).

One solution could be to have a convention, e.g. have puppet write all the facts that will be turned into Datadog tags in a file like /etc/datadog/tags or something similar. I'm not qualified enough to judge whether it's a good idea or not.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Alexis
